Error code help -Airbag light on

Hi Op

I had a similar issue when I inadvertently turned my steering slip ring out of alignment whilst refitting my refurbished steering wheel. I can't recall the exact code but if you've had the steering wheel off at any point it may be this. It came up as an airbag communication error +1 -1( +1 being rh -1 being lh)
In effect no Comms with the steering wheel position.
To rectify I had to buy a new 2nd hand slip ring off eBay for £8
Hope this is of use
